Aim for the Stars
If you move to Texas or are traveling on an assignment, you might feel far from home in this large state, but there’s no better place to find common ground and inspiration than the site where mankind has left the comfort of our home planet. NASA’s Space Center in Houston welcomes visitors to take tours through their space museum. The Space Center’s elaborate exhibits invite guests to get an up-close view of rockets, starships, astronaut equipment, and much more. Each exhibit features real aircraft used in different space missions throughout history. The center offers guided tours, interactive experiences, films, and lives presentations.
Texas Loves to Eat
Native Texans, and those that visit, rave about the great state’s barbecue traditions. Typically, slow cooked over an open fire, Texas barbecue is a smoky, tangy favorite that brings visitors in from all over the country. Texas barbecue is known for four different styles of cooking depending on the region of the state. Central, East, South, and West Texas all put their own unique spin on barbecue that is unmatched anywhere else in the country. The good news is that even though Texas is big, you’re bound to be nearby at least one of these regions where you’ll be able to get a real Texas style BBQ experience of your own.
Far from barbecue, but equally close to the heart of Texas is HGTV stars’ Chip and Joanna Gaines’ very own restaurant, Magnolia Table. Located in Waco, Texas, this fan-filled hot spot is a full-service restaurant and serves breakfast daily. It’s no surprise that actually getting a table at Magnolia Table involves a long line of patrons, and lots of patience, but the restaurant’s home-style cooking is worth the wait.
Big State, Big Cities
Whether your health care job lands you in the North, South, East, or West portion of Texas, you won’t be far (relatively speaking) from a major city full of new experiences. Each city offering its own atmosphere is unique in culture, dining, and nightlife. Check out the details on these dynamic cities:
